(May 26) One theme that may or may not be apparent here is that I’ve been photographing a lot of controversies. This exhibit became controversial within days of being removed after having been installed months ago, thanks to the presence of a piece representing someone portraying themselves as Che Guevara.

viva la controversial public art installations!
“Che Guevara”

che guevara
The image of Che is still controversial it seems.
You’d never guess this given what a pop culture symbol his face had become.

hail!
“Caesar”

she's looking a little green
“Dali Woman”
